Moon and Thunder 3 - By DS Wynne


Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me.

Note: This is a fusion story.


Scene: The Negaverse General Nephlite (now marked for death by his boss

Queen Beryl) is trying to shield Molly ("Sailor Moon") Baker from certain death.

"NO!" Nephlite yells, as a youma is about to spear him...

FRAK!

Moving at "Invisible Speed", Captain Marvel intercepts the attack using her chest to block.

"That's it," 'Marvel replies, as her eyes glow slightly...

BOOM!

Using the power of Zeus, 'Marvel calls down a bolt of lightning to destroy the attackers.

Later...

"Thank you for saving my life, 'Marvel," Nephlite says. "And I promise to keep your secret."

"I appreciate that," 'Marvel responds. "Just see that Molly's faith in you is warranted."

Next scene: Zoycite, learning that Serena Saotome is Sailor Moon's friend, kidnaps the girl, bound and gagged. Lyta ("Sailor Jupiter") Kino joins the fray, after Moon and the Scouts informs her of Serena's need to say her magic word.

"Maybe I can help," said Sailor Jupiter, as she took aim at Serena, while the rest of the Scouts are engaged in battle with Negaverse General Zoycite's youma.

"Jupiter Thunder CRASH!"

Jupiter's attack struck home, activating Serena's powers...

BOOM!

Zoycite turns to see a smirking Usagi Marvel.

"Oh, Zoy-chan," Usagi said, as she cracked her knuckles.

GULP!

Another Scene: The assembled Rainbow Crystals, taken from the Seven Shadow Warriors, merge to become the fabled Silver Millennium Crystal. However, instead of going to Sailor Moon, it goes to...CAPTAIN MARVEL!

"Wha-?" 'Marvel says.

A ghostly figure appears, who looks exactly like Serena's adult form.

"My darling daughter, I am your true mother, Serenity, once-ruler of the fabled Moon Kingdom," the woman said. "I am so proud of you for taking up the role as champion. And now, I give you your heritage..."

The Silver Millennium Crystal merges with Captain Marvel, and-

FLASH!

"Behold, my daughter," Serenity said. "I give you your inheritance. You may talk to me as you do your Elders."

Captain Marvel looked like she always have, except that now, she wore a white costume with gold trim (with white/yellow trimmed cape) and yellow, stitched boots, instead of her red ensemble. Furthermore, she now sported a crescent gold moon symbol on her forehead.

"Wow, they look like twins," Mina ("Sailor Venus") Aino said. She was glad that they finally found the Moon Princess.

Yet Another Scene: Nodoka Saotome, after suffering an attack by Malachite, is in the hospital. Her foster daughter, Serena, is depressed.

"There was nothing you could do," Molly said. She had been trying to get to know Serena better, especially after learning that she was the Moon Princess.

"It was my fault," Serena replies. "I allowed my personal feelings for Darien to set me up, while Malachite tried to find the source of my power."

Serena turns around and head out the door.

"Wait, where are you going?" Luna the Moon Cat says. She has tried to become an adviser to the girl to no avail.

"I'm leaving town. As long as I'm here, I endanger your mission."

With a flash of her eyes, Serena gives a portion of her power to Molly.

"Oh...what did you do?"

"I gave you a direct link to the Silver Millennium Crystal. That should be enough to deal with Beryl."

At the same time...

"Oh, no you don't," Queen Beryl says, as she peered through her crystal ball. "You are not just going to walk away."

"And you do not worry about Captain Marvel," said a voice in the darkness.

Stepping forth into the light was...BLACK ADAM. Black Adam was Captain Marvel's potent foe. An Egyptian Warrior from the distant past, Adam (then known as "Khem Adam") was the wizard Shazam's first successor. Blessed with the power of the Egyptian gods, Adam used his powers for good, until a personal tragedy caused him to betray his oath. The wizard was then forced to banish Adam for thousands of years. When Serena became a Marvel, Adam returned to wreck havoc on the planet, particularly by taking on Serena. Thanks to the "Anything Goes Martial Arts" training, plus Genma Saotome's wily personality, Serena defeated Adam, by imprisoning him into the Rock of Eternity itself. The Rock, which exists in the middle of time and space, was also the home of the wizard Shazam, before he left for greener pastures.

"Thank you for freeing me from my...prison, Beryl," Adam said. His costume was black with yellow/gold trim (no cape) with stitched boots.

"Of course, my dear Adam," Beryl replied. "I take it that you are ready to deal with our mutual problem?"

"Yes, I am. I'll make that little girl pay for what she did to me."n


Chosen among from among all others by the immortal "Elders", Solomon,

Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, Serena Saotome and her guardian Nodoka travel the highways and the byways of the land on the never ending mission: to right wrongs, to develop understanding, and to seek justice for all. In time of dire need, young Serena has been granted the power by the immortals to summon awesome forces at the utterance of a single word-

"SHAZAM!" Serena yells.

BOOM!

A word, which transforms her, in a flash, into the mightiest of mortal beings, CAPTAIN MARVEL!


Part 3


Serena Saotome sat on a bench, in Juuban Park, thinking about her next move.

Dad and Ranma are in Okinawa, Serena thought. Maybe I can be on the road with them. But I can't leave Mom alone, though.

Serena sighed.

"What am I going to do?" Serena said to herself.

BOOM!

Serena heard a distant, rolling thunder...

"I guess Mother and the Elders need to speak with me."

Serena closed her eyes...

"Oh Elders, fleet, swift and wise, appear before my seeking eyes..."

FLASH!

Serena appeared in "Heaven". Standing before in the mist were the Elders and Serenity.

"Serena, you must not give up hope," Serenity said, as she went to hug her daughter.

"But it's so hard!" Serena replied. "People that I care about are getting hurt."

"Serena, we had chose you to wield our gifts because you possess a great strength," Zeus replied.

"We did not chose you without a reason," Solomon admonished.

"I'm glad Elder," Serena replied. "It's just that with so many fronts to deal with, I don't know what to do."

"You must use your powers to guide you," Mercury responds.

"If you do, your task will become much easier to manage," Atlas said.

"Allow your strength to flow through you," Hercules interjects.

"And your courage will follow," responds Achilles. "Like Troy, your battle with the Negaverse will not be won in a day...but won it will!"

"My darling daughter, you have a mother and teacher that needs you. For me, go back to her."

"...Yes, mother," responds Serena.

"We are counting on you," Solomon says. "Good luck, child..."

FLASH!

Serena opens her eyes, only to find out that the Sailor Scouts and the

Moon cats surrounded her.

"Thank goodness you are okay," Molly says. "You seemed to be in some sort of trance."

"Actually, I was just talking to Queen Serenity," replied Serena.

"Really?" Luna says. "Is she...proud of us?"

"Well, she's not complaining. Anyway, I got to go."

"You're not going to run away?" Mina said.

"No, I'm not. Actually, there's someone I got to see. Can you look after my Mom while I'm gone?"

"When are you coming back?" Raye asked.

"I'll be back tonight. Don't worry, guys!"

"Oh, okay," said Molly. "Where are you going?"

"Okinawa. Alright, stand back."

Once the girls did so, Serena looked up at the sky...

"SHAZAM!"

BOOM!

A flash later, Captain Marvel takes off into the sky.

"I'll never get used to that," Lyta said.

"I am curious as to how Serena does that," Amy mused.


Once Captain Marvel was over Tokyo Bay, she picked up speed. Gifted by the speed of Mercury, 'Marvel could move swifter than the normal eye could keep up...

POW!

'Marvel tumbled a bit before righting herself. Quickly, she scanned the area and saw...

"Oh, it's you, Black Adam."

"Very perceptive girl," Adam said, as he floated above the water. "By the way, Beryl sends her regards."

WOOSH!

POW!

Adam connected another blow to 'Marvel's jaw.

And another.

And another.

The last time Captain Marvel and Black Adam fought, Adam was brutal. In spite of her great power, 'Marvel was nearly beaten within an inch of life. If it hadn't been for a combination of guile and wit, Adam would not have been tricked into being sealed up into the Rock of Eternity. However...

CATCH!

"Huh?" said Black Adam.

"You had your fun, Adam. Now here's MY turn..."

POW! POW! SMACK!

Serena had improved her technique since her last fight with Adam.

Coupled with the internalized power of the Silver Millennium Crystal,

Serena's power had increased dramatically...

POW! POW! BAM! BAM! KICK!

"Impossible!" Adam exclaimed, as he wiped the blood off his face.

"Oh, did I forget to mention that I improved a bit, since our last encounter?" 'Marvel smirked. "Oh, and here's something NEW..."

With her outstretched arms, she cupped her hands.

"Cosmic Moon POWER!" Captain Marvel yelled.

Thanks to the Silver Millennium Crystal, Captain Marvel could harness and channel the power of the Moon Kingdom...

BLAST!

"YAHHHHHHHHH-!" screamed Adam, as he took massive damage. The blast was so strong that what was left of him was blasted off the planet.

"Idiot," Lady Marvel said, as she resumed her travel. As a wielder of thepower of SHAZAM, Serena knew that Adam would survive the blast. Hopefully, he won't be bothering her for a while.
